Grand Canyon National Park (AZ)
Visitor Falls To Her Death Off South Rim

Park dispatch received a report of a missing woman in the vicinity of the Yavapai Geology Museum on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 9th. The caller said that he’d gone to the men’s room and was unable to find his wife when he returned. About an hour later, rangers spotted a body, believed to be that of the missing woman, about 600 feet below the rim just east of the museum. Due to waning light and quickly dropping temperatures, a decision was made to wait until Wednesday morning to send rangers in to recover the body. It was then flown to the rim and turned over to the county medical examiner.
